15 Things I Learned While Playing Half-Life

[GothmogII]

Actually, the HEV suit does have a helmet, just...Gordon never seems to wear it. I guess it either folds out of the neck or he really doesn't have the one that goes with his suit, which, is actually quite obvious in-game considering Gordon can quite easily drown HEV suit or no.

I'll give it a pass on the protective value, seeing as it -is- designed for hazardous work, and while that may not be primarily in regard to bullets, flying bits of metal aren't an unreasonable hazard to experience either.

I learned:

The greatest warriors of the Xen Borderlands use only the mightiest of weapons: Guns that launch bees. (Yeah, really, the Grunts are supposed to be their main footsoldier and they use bee-cannons, which while capable of killing you aren't all that effective... No wonder they got their asses kicked.)

15: No one ever comes back from Ravenholm. Except that one mute dude with the Haz-Mat suit and a crowbar apparently.

LIES! GRIGORI LIVES!

Ahem, that list was pretty damn true. Nice work, keep it up. : D

To be fair, he stayed, so he didn't technically come back

I learned that you don't actually have to understand what the final boss is, what it is doing, or how to kill it to beat the game.

7: Despite lacking any of the engineering and properties of real arrows, super-heated re-bar works just as well as arrows when shot out of a crossbow.

I was always confused about that one, how exactly do they heat up those pieces of re-bar?

What I learned while playing Half-Life is that those green creatures will lightning bolt the fuck out of you!

What I learned while playing Half-Life 2 is that those green creatures will heal the fuck out of you!

My learning experience has not been consistent!

There's a webcomic somewhere that totally summed up what I went through.

Whenever I saw a Vort in Half-Life 2, I would instinctively fill it with enough rounds to kill a space Fetus XD

As soon as I saw the first one in Half-Life 2, I began shooting and halfway through the clip I was convinced this green monster is packing some heavy-duty kevlar under his skin.

I still wouldn't trust them to add milk to my coffee.

I learned that Human ninja assassins are far scarier than whatever any alternate dimension can throw at you. Seriously...fuck those girls.

From part one: when you're thrown into a trash compactor after you're ambushed by the female ninja assassins' bigger boyfriends, a crowbar is enough to get back up and find all your lost weapons within 15 minutes and kick some major rear end.
And in part 2: circular saw blades seem to have a built in leveling device that keeps them flat, so it's easier to devide zombies into a top and bottom half.
